An interesting point is that nowhere in this implementation document is there any mention of which specialty clinics should come under (other than...
I remain concerned about the literature put out by Doctors for ME. The Educational material e.g. 'What is ME' is way off balance. It is likely...
A couple of initial thoughts. Firstly it talks of LP no longer being recommended. I hope it never was. It describes Doctors with ME as the...
I hope people can access the document. I would be interested to know what they think.
Moved from the UK NICE 2021 ME/CFS Guideline, published 29th October - post-publication discussion thread. Dear Jonathan Further to the email...
Yes, but things are more complicated. The original Larun review was very nearly withdrawn. When David Tovey was editor he made it clear that it...
All the material is available in the existing Cochrane review versions, some published and some not and in the NICE review, published in detail....
But why follow some set of rules laid out by Mass General? This is real life, real ill people. Real life does not follow rules, nor does science,...

I see no need to make excuses for these people. As eloquently explained by Peter Barry, the evidence now shows there is too little effect to be...
There is something very bizarre about the secrecy surrounding this process. Normally confidentiality around a policy review would be to protect...
Hard to say. My impression has been that this part of the process is designed to ensure that NICE is not accused of irresponsible recommendations...
The GPs perceived both youths and adults with FSS time consuming, which underlines a need for ways to offload them onto someone else.
Thanks @MEMarge. I had missed this. But maybe whatever impact it might have had is done now. It seems horrendous that the UK RCGP should encourage...
So you can now say - well I've done my job, I have prescribed treatment, so now you can go out of the door. And I don't even have to find the dose...
Yes, well, there you go.
Too right. It sounds barmy to me. If you make stem cells and then differentiate them you are likely to unwind all acquired and epigenetic...
I thought nootropic might refer to those people who find anything south of Normandy too hot. But it seems: Etymology Coined in 1972 by Dr....
